No, ahhh, I don't think I'm thinking of it wrong exactly. I found the list I typed up about when the 722.6 was introduced into the various models:
OK, here's the info on when the 722.6 was introduced:
*from 03/95 in the C140 with engine M120 (S600 Coupe)
*from 09/95 in the W/V 140 with engines M119 and M120 (S500 and S600 sedans, long and short wheelbase)
*from 09/95 in the R129 with engines M119 and M120 (SL500 and SL600)
*from 01/96 in the W210 with engine M119 (E420)
*from 08/96 for all MB passenger cars with 4,5, or 6 cylinder engines.

So prior to August 1 1997 (which yes is when you'd expect 1998 model year vehicles to be in production roughly), you have V8 and V12 129's and 140's with the 722.6, and the E420 210 chassis, plus every 1997 model, that would be the only ones which wouldn't have the caps. I guess I should have included "E420 and ALL 1997", and while I'm at it the early ML's also wouldn't have the caps, they started making those way before Aug 1997. Sorry if I sounded confused, maybe I should have FOUND this list and pasted it on the previous post, maybe I would have stated it differently. Mainly I was trying to point out that from 1998 model year forward, the transmissions have the caps, so relatively speaking a small amount of 722.6's don't have them.
